Just make sure they're as tight as they should be and you're ok.

Thanks for that. I am guessing its just as good as the quill stem in terms of strength. Its just nice having a thicker head stem on the front, its more of a look thing I think haha. Brings on self confidence i guess hahaha.

It would allow for more adjustment in terms of spacing out the handlebars though, I always dread the thought of going down a fast hill and finding that the steering is getting looser at every bump haha. I'll have to steer from the brake caliper in emergency lol

familyguy - Yeah i think its more of a visual thing having a thicker head stem on the front. It would give me a bit more adjustability on the angle of the head stem and also length. I think for some reason that it will end up failing on me doh
